Not exactly. If you want to know more about how arrays work, you should read 
this: http://www.dsource.org/projects/dcollections/wiki/ArrayArticle It's a 
great read. As for using an array as a stack, you can do it with a wrapper 
struct, but using it by itself would result in a lot more reallocations than 
you'd want, as discussed here:
